Chapter XVIII. Collections
Xuan Sheng's home is located in a small village on the edge of the city, and he is somewhat similar to me, both of whom are from poor backgrounds.
The only thing better than me is that he has a pair of simple parents and an equally honest sister.
When Xuansheng's family saw us coming, they naturally asked Xuansheng how he was now.
Lao Gu was not as strict as Professor Lin, but said without changing his face, Xuan Sheng was fine, and he had already returned to the unit to report in advance.
Xuansheng's family is very superstitious, but for Xuansheng's old teacher, he is even more respectful of gods. As soon as I asked and answered, I believed the words of the old 'rubber monkey'.
We came to Xuansheng's house mainly to find Guan Miao, but no one in Xuansheng's family knew who Guan Miao was.
Therefore, we can only settle for the next best thing, and through the information obtained, we will visit Xuansheng's relatives and friends who have contacts in his hometown one by one.
The result is frustrating, and none of these people know Guan Miao.
Repeating the old saying, just like Jinghai said, who is not a god.
If you are a person, you have to eat, drink, and Lazar.
After visiting the last house, it was already seven o'clock in the night, and Lao Gu finally proposed: Why don't we find a place to eat first?
I suspect that Professor Lin may have unconsciously regained the feeling of exploring and revealing secrets when he was young.
Listening to the old guy, the old professor, who has always had a light diet, actually proposed to eat barbecue.
The two hit it off, but I had to fight against it.
Exhausted, I said to the two old men: In the light of the fire, my shadow will be abnormal. Imagine that I accompany your two elders to play strings, but my shadow is dancing or dancing on the side, if I am seen, I want to live in peace.
I finally found an ordinary restaurant, and as soon as I finished ordering, my phone vibrate.
What was displayed on the screen was Ji Yayun, who picked up the phone, but the eager voice of Sang Lan's father came from the receiver:
"Where are you now? Are you still with Boss Tong? ”
I was exhausted, but I couldn't tell him anything I didn't like, so I just said that I was having dinner with two old professors, and that I would talk to him later.
What I didn't expect was that less than fifteen minutes after the phone hung up, and the dishes were just served, a couple of men and women walked in. It was actually Sang Lan's father, and with him, it was Ji Yayun.
Seeing the two of them coming straight to me, I couldn't help but wonder, "How did you find here?" ”
Ji Yayun coughed lightly: "Are you confused?" Our home is in the neighborhood at the back of the road. ”
I could only smile bitterly after I was stunned, she was really right, I was really tossed into a daze after the fucking day.
Sang Lan's residence in the city is not around here.
However, after Ji Yayun sat down beside me, he whispered to me with some embarrassment:
"As soon as we got back to our neighborhood, I felt like you were all around. When my brother-in-law called you, it almost occurred to me that you might be here. My brother-in-law he ...... All his life, he was only fascinated by commenting. He tosses and turns at home and no one can live in peace, I ...... I had to bring him here. ”
I wasn't too surprised by what she said, 'I feel my presence'.
It seems that I don't know when I have had an indescribable special feeling with me, the 'child bride' who was engaged but not married.
This kind of induction is not obvious to me, but in my past experience, as long as Ji Yayun wants to find me, no matter where she is or how special the situation is, at least she can call me to get through.
I still remember that after getting off the green train, the blind man said vaguely that I seemed to be a little inseparable from Ji Yayun......
Seeing that my face was not very good-looking, Ji Yayun asked me in a low voice, "You have been very tired lately?"
I smiled wryly.
She hesitated, as if she wanted to say something, but before she could speak, Sang Lan's father rushed forward and asked me:
"On the phone in the afternoon, didn't you fool me? The one who sings the song, is it really Tong Xiaoqiu? Did you really see her ghost? ”
I couldn't help frowning, looking at Lao Gu and Professor Lin, and then at Sang Lan She Lao Tzu looked excited and expectant, so I could only nod speechlessly.
Sang Lan's father was a certain age, and he also felt that I had no intention of talking to him more, and his expression was slightly unnatural.
I'm a little embarrassed to see this, but now I've learned that Sang Lan's dad is a real fan of bullet commentary, and he's a fanatical kind of 'die-hard fan'.
After he came in, he was able to briefly introduce himself to each other with the two old professors, and then ask about the things he cared about, which was already very cultivated.
Is he Sang Lan's Laozi, or my so-called mother's......
I'm really not used to doing disrespectful things to my elders.
Ji Yayun seemed to see the embarrassment of both parties, pulled the corner of my clothes, and said to me in a voice that only the two of us could hear:
"Don't blame my brother-in-law, there's a reason why he's so reckless. If you mentioned it on the phone, if you were a commentator next to him, he might not be so impulsive, but when you mentioned Tong Xiaoqiu, it was not quite the same. ”
"What's wrong with Tong Xiaoqiu?" I wondered.
Ji Yayun glanced at her brother-in-law, and she was closer to me, and her voice was lowered:
"First, Tong Xiaoqiu is more special, he can sing three gears by himself; And, more importantly, my brother-in-law has collected a relic of Tong Xiaoqiu. It's not appropriate to say 'see things and think about people', but as an art fanatic, owning a personal thing like a famous person is just like a collector who really loves antiques, and will try his best to find out the story behind that thing because of the real thing. ”
"What do you mean? You repeat? You mean...... Your brother-in-law has a collection of something that belongs to Tong Xiaoqiu?! I couldn't help but raise my voice.
Sang Lan's father was speechless, and when he heard me say, he immediately said:
"Yes! A friend of mine...... No, that guy was a bastard, he ...... He gave me a gift. It is said that it is really a relic of Tong Xiaoqiu, and it is genuine! ”
I was a little slow to react, but Professor Lin and Lao Gu invariably widened their eyes and said at the same time, "It can't be such a coincidence, right?!" ”
"How?" Sang Lan's father and Ji Yayun were stunned.
Lao Gu licked his lips and asked in a tentative tone:
"Is your collection a pearl? Namzhu? The pearl of the night? ”
As the so-called words woke up the person in the dream, and when I heard him ask, I was suddenly excited.
"Uncle Sang, did you say that bastard who gave you a gift, is it Lin Hansheng?" I asked.
Sang Lan's father nodded with a gloomy face.
Lao Gu and Professor Lin and I looked at each other, and just as we were about to speak, Sang Lan's father said:
"That thing was indeed given to me by Lin Hansheng as a birthday gift, and he and I are considered small, so they naturally know my hobbies. So when I gave that thing, I repeatedly explained that it was a relic of Tong Xiaoqiu, a famous actor in the Qing Dynasty. ”
"It's Nam-joo?" This time, I asked at the same time as two old professors.
Sang Lan's father also seemed to sense something unusual from our reaction, first shook his head, and then took out a small rectangular wooden box from his arms.
He opened the wooden box and said, "Han Sheng, this person usually speaks with a lot of 'moisture', but I believe that this thing is indeed Tong Xiaoqiu's." Because, every time I see this thing, I feel a special feeling. It's like...... It was as if I could faintly hear someone rapping in my ear......"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
His words were interrupted by the sound of two hard bangs on the table.
It was Professor Lao Gu and Lin who slapped the table.
Professor Lin blushed and didn't speak, just stared at the wooden box that had been opened.
Lao Gu pointed to the things in the wooden box and said loudly: "This is Tong Xiaoqiu's family!" ”
